Here is a little more information about our new partnership to create SOMS news with FACTv. This season will be wrapping up with our second episode which should be debuting soon.

So I wanted to just capture a week of learning for me as an educator, maker, and designer. I have been extremely fortunate to have connections that have been created through X and Pathfinders. I am always amazed at how invested different educational companies are in their products and how responsive they are to my comments on X.
Monday - Lectrify
A few months ago, I stumbled across a post about the Bit:Explorer created by Diego of Lectify. The not so funny thing was that we both presented on the same day with CodeJoy's Make-a-thon in August but I never attended his session. I find that this small world of makers is always ready to include you when you reach out.
I was fortunate enough to write a Donor's Choose for 20 classroom Bit:Explorers that helped push me to apply what I was learning with Hummingbird and Micro:Bit into another similar technology. I've included my playlist of Bit:Explorer because my designers have loved working with the device which we used for Talking Objects and Mini-Golf instead of the Hummingbird.
We also talked about the flex ball and printing using TPU as well as what happened when I dropped the ball and sent pieces of my Bit:Explorer flying. I learned more about using the Micro:Bit, the Bit:Explorer, and more which I am using as a model for the Global Goals Design Challenge that my designers and I are doing right now.

FACT Tv Partnership
Besides learning new technologies, I am working on re-establishing partnerships to build our connections to the community. Mr. Craugh, our principal, and I have been meeting to start a partnership with FACT Tv, our local community television station. Check out our promo:
